New kiosk for appliance repairs company in Weston Favell

Bespoke small units and pop-ups in High Streets and shopping centres offer another dimension to shopping experiences. As a result, the demand for alternative types of stores and shops is increasing. 

 

It’s an ideal way to test products or services in new locations and to take advantage of seasonal sales opportunities. Small, pop-up and temporary retail spaces are ideal for everything from Santa’s Grotto to Easter egg sales. You’ll want to make them eye-catching and practical so a reliable electricity supply and enough sockets makes all the difference. Requirements might include: 

 

Your established retail competitors probably have all the electrical outlets they need. You might only have a couple of electric sockets to work with, which probably isn’t enough for your needs. 

 

First you’ll need to work out your electrical requirements and design a floorplan so you know where electricity is needed. Power strips and extension cables might tempt you, but you could risk electrical overloads. You should ask a professional electrician for advice about the electrical capacity you need and how to provide it safely. 

 

To minimise your requirements and reduce cabling consider using Wi-Fi to power Bluetooth speakers and POS sales terminals. Use smartphone charging pads to keep your apps running smoothly. Energy efficient LED lighting can also reduce the electrical load and save money too.
